A friend of mine gave me an idea to post these photos of wedding locks.

"Wedding locks?" I have never heard of this. They are for "good luck" you wrote. Does a couple get one lock or several, please?

I like the little man in the first photo :)

That's right. Wedding locks or love padlocks or Love Locks, whatever...
This tradition is popular in Moscow for quite some time as well.
We've got a bridge, across the Vodootvodny Canal, with special iron trees on it for these locks in the center of the city. These trees are completely covered in locks. A lot of young couples go there on their wedding day to lock up their locks. One lock for each couple is enough ))
According their beliefs after locking up a lock their love will be ageless.
Moreover these trees are periodically replaced with new ones. Because of no place for new locks
